Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data requests are routed to multiple data centers for verification, then system reliability and defense capability are improved, but device complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the verification function by distributing data repositories across multiple data centers, where each data center maintains a portion of the credential verification data. This allows verification requests to be routed to specific data centers based on the type of verification needed, improving reliability while managing complexity through functional segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
A repository switch is introduced as an intermediary component that manages the routing of verification requests between the node and multiple data centers. The repository switch handles the complexity of multi-data center coordination, providing a simplified interface for verification requests while maintaining the distributed architecture's reliability benefits.
2Reliability
If data requests are routed to multiple data centers for verification, then system reliability is improved, but processing speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-distributing verification credentials to multiple data centers before they are needed. When a verification request arrives, the repository switch can immediately route it to an appropriate data center that already has the necessary credentials cached, eliminating the need for real-time data gathering and accelerating the verification process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically routes verification requests to the most appropriate data center based on real-time conditions such as data center availability, current load, and the specific type of credential verification needed. This dynamic routing optimizes processing speed by selecting the fastest available path while maintaining reliability through multiple options.
3Productivity
If load balancing is implemented across data centers, then system efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The repository switch is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a routing device for verification requests and as a load balancer that distributes traffic across multiple data centers. This universal component handles both verification routing and load balancing functions, improving system efficiency while minimizing the increase in device complexity by consolidating functions.
4Reliability
If access credentials are verified across distributed data centers, then security is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements local quality by caching frequently accessed verification credentials at the repository switch and at each data center. This allows the majority of verification requests to be processed locally without requiring communication with remote data centers, thereby maintaining high security through distributed verification while minimizing processing time for common operations.
Data Source
AI summary
A distributed memory data repository of connected data centres. The network load balances by routing requests to different data centres for processing. The solution design provides a blue print to implement a distributed memory data repository based defense system across multiple nodes with dynamic fail-over capabilities. The defense system runs independently on a single node, exclusively leveraging memory for data storage and implementing a communication channel to interact with other nodes.
